    My son's 74 Comet project is progressing along and once we get the headers installed, it will be time to get the dual exhaust installed.

    I like the look of having the tailpipes dump behind the rear tires, but it looks really tight with the leafsprings so close.

    Hoping others can share some pics of theirs

    Here are mine. Any good exhaust shop can bend up whatever you need.

    Why do I always feel intimidated when Craig posts these pics?

    Every time I get more inspired, my bank account gets smaller and my car stays off of the road for several more months.

    Finding a good muffler guy is NOT easy. I have had my interior caught on fire, and the most recent guy put in a 2-1/4 system in when I told him I wanted a 2-1/2 setup. It runs better now, but still, not what I asked for. His response..."I ran out of 2-1/2" pipe."

    I gave him 2-1/2" header collectors, 2-1/2" X-pipe, and 2-1/2" mufflers, and he still mangled it to all fit.

    Runs good, though...
